Template:Articleabout The Poltergust 5000 is the name of the vacuum that Luigi uses in Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon. It is an upgraded version of the Poltergust 3000 from the first game, both of which were created by Professor Elvin Gadd. When the ghosts of Evershade Valley became hostile due to the shattering of the Dark Moon, E. Gadd escaped, forgetting to bring the Poltergust 5000 with him. As part of the first mission of the game, recovering the vacuum from the vehicle in the Garage is Luigi's first objective.
While the Poltergust 5000 is an improved version of the Poltergust 3000, they share the same basic properties. Players can use the Poltergust 5000's vacuum by pressing 
and blow things away by pressing 
. While the Poltergust 5000 does retain the Flashlight attachment, it works differently than the original version's. The basic light can no longer stun ghosts, so the player has to first find the Strobulb in order to do so.
As with the Poltergust 3000, the vacuum is equipped with a Flashlight. Luigi finds the Strobulb, which allows him to stun ghosts. He can charge it by not just pressing 
, but holding it in as well. Throughout his quest, Luigi will encounter various tools to make the vacuum's power greater by collecting treasure in the mansions. Unlike the first game, the Poltergust 5000 can suck in 3 ghosts at a time, any other ghosts stunned with the Strobulb remains stunned until Luigi stop sucking up at least one and switch to the other one.
Features
- In total, there are five colors: Red, Green, Blue, Orange, and Pink.
- Unlike the Poltergust 3000, after a short period of sucking up the ghost while pushing the
the opposite way of the ghost, the player can press to make a power surge. Power Surges increase as Luigi upgrades the Poltergust 5000. A Blue Surge removes 10 HP from the ghost, a Green Surge removes 20, and a Red Surge removes 60. Along with extra damage, if defeating a ghost with a Power Surge, an amount of money will be deposited depending on what charge it is: a Blue Surge gives 3 coins, a Green Surge gives one gold bar, and a Red Surge gives 3 gold bars. If there are multiple ghosts within the suction, the ghosts will always drop an additional gold bar when captured, from a single gold bar with no surge, to a maximum of 4 gold bars from a Red Surge. - The Poltergust 5000 can be upgraded over the course of the game, based on how much gold Luigi collects.
- 2,000 G: The Green Surge is unlocked, allowing Luigi to do more damage and receive more gold.
- 4,000 G: The Dark-Light Level 2 is unlocked, increasing the length of the Dark-Light Device's meter.
- 7,000 G: The Red Surge is unlocked, allowing even more damage with Power Surges.
- 10,000 G: The Dark-Light Level 3 is unlocked, maxing out the Dark-Light meter.
- 20,000 G: The Super Poltergust can be unlocked, which fills the power bar and drains the ghost's HP faster.
Appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Luigi uses the Poltergust 5000 for his Final Smash. It replaces his previous Final Smash, the Negative Zone, from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It works similarly to Cook Kirby, which is also from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. With the Poltergust 5000, for a brief period of time, Luigi can vacuum up his opponents and items, with the caught opponents receiving damage. After that period of time is over, he will then launch out anyone he caught. Items may be produced if any of them are caught. If no opponents are caught, the Final Smash will fail.

Trivia
- On March 27, 2013, Nintendo revealed that they had posted a challenge to iam8bit to make a working Poltergust 5000 replica, complete with a lit Strobulb and overall backpack design just as in the game.[1]
- After Luigi upgrades to Super Poltergust, the Poltergust 5000 has a design on the wheels, but when the player is at the Bunker, the wheels have no design.
- This version of the Poltergust is numbered "5000" after the previous was numbered "3000" likely to acknowledge the Poltergust 4000 kart from Mario Kart DS.
